Georgia Lottery aware of problems with machines

ATLANTA (AP) — As the Powerball jackpot soars, a Georgia Lottery official says the agency is working to get its equipment operational again after some machines have been down.

Georgia Lottery spokeswoman Kimberly Starks confirmed that some machines were not working properly. She said Monday afternoon that lottery officials are aware of the situation, and are working to correct the problems. She wasn't immediately able to say how widespread the outages were or provide other details.

Starks said online lottery sales were scheduled to start over the weekend, and officials were looking into reports of issues surrounding that as well.
